"The Breakfast Club"

Have you seen "The Breakfast Club", no?

Go. Now and watch it. Right now. Go.

However, if you have seen it.  Think about it. It relates pretty damn well to your life. One of the characters in that movie actually is YOU in some way.  Which is it?  They may not be like you now, but when you were younger or at some part in your life you were one or more of the characters. Its crazy how much you think about this movie and the life we live.  The teenage years are a tough part of any kids life. This movie captures the highs and the lows of these years. Teens seem to have parental issues. Parents are either helicopter parents, assholes, or nonexistent.  Some kids have parents that are ACTUALLY one of these three things. Others just make it seem like they are all three at different points.  Is it the parents that make their children the way they are? I'd like to say yes.  If your parents aren't there, where are you going to go? The streets. And your gonna turn out a little rough. But for real, these people will be able to provide for themselves, as long as they didn't turn to the streets too much and get into a bad rap with some drugs or something.  Helicopter parents aren't going to let their kids go.  And this sucks for the kid.  They won't know how to do anything because it has all been laid out on the table for them. And if your parents are assholes your gonna turn to violence and just have a terrible house life.  So really what is the perfect parent. Teens don't know.  Think of it this way. Sometimes think to yourself.  What if I had to live like the worse conditions.  I would like to try having nothing given to me, nothing.  I do it all by myself.  Just to see how terrible it would be to have asshole/nonexistent parents.  It would be interesting.  But it would also give us a new outlook on life.  Something that a lot of us could use.  Its the little things in life that make it hell or fun.  Feel bad for John Bender because he doesn't have much, but be proud.  He stays strong and in ways should be a role model for some of us.  Not all aspects but some.

Just realize, a lot of us are spoiled.  And there are a lot of people out there who aren't.  They don't have much and they don't always complain.  But damnit.  The spoiled ones, if they don't get something.  "SCREW MY PARENTS!"  Look pal.  Sit down and shut the hell up.  Look around there are people who have it worse than you.  Grow a pair and suck it up.

Thank you.
